Fixing "undefined local variable or method `version_requirements' for #<Rails::GemDependency:0x...> (NameError)"
Phillip Koebbe from Ruby on Rails suggested inserting following code between the "bootstrap" and "initialize" sections of enviroment.rb. This hack fixes the problem.

module Rails
class GemDependency
def requirement
r = super
(r == Gem::Requirement.default) ? nil : r
end
end
end
end
